2 - Air Flashcards
Flight (FLT) DECK FAN Switch - ON
packs off/on
- with all packs off, recirculated cabin air supplied to flight deck
- with at least one pack on, fan increases flow of conditioned air supplied to flight deck
- fan enabled in flight when windshield air is on.
TRIM AIR Switch - ON (what does it do)
master trim air valve open and flight deck, upper deck, and main deck zone trim air valves operate automatically
TRIM AIR Switch - OFF (5)
- master trim air valve closed
- pack output temperature in backup mode regulated to provide average flight deck temperature from 65°F (18°C) to 85°F (29°C) as selected by Flight Deck Temperature selector in AUTO
- cabin temperature panel control of upper deck zone temperatures inhibited
- pack controller A selected and both automatic and manual selection of pack controller B inhibited
- if pack controller A failed, pack controller B selected automatically
Equipment (EQUIP) COOLING Selector - STBY (3)
- ground exhaust valve closed
- automatic control bypassed to configure system for flight; inboard exhaust valve open
- with a single internal fault, equipment inboard exhaust valve closes and cooling system reconfigures to allow internal closed loop recirculation of cooling air
Equipment (EQUIP) COOLING Selector - NORM (3)
- ground operation based on ambient temperature, equipment cooling air exhausted overboard, or exhausted into forward cargo compartment
- with two or more engines running cooling air exhausted into forward cargo compartment and ground exhaust valve closed or inboard exhaust valve closed and equipment cooling air recirculated in a closed loop mode
- with a single internal fault, equipment inboard exhaust valve closes and cooling system reconfigures to allow internal closed loop recirculation of cooling air
Equipment (EQUIP) COOLING Selector - OVRD (4)
- inboard exhaust valve closed
- ground exhaust valve closed
- equipment supply valve closed; cooling air supplied through flight panels
- smoke/override valve open; differential pressure exhausts cooling air overboard
High (HI) FLOW Switch - ON
- all operating packs configured to high flow
* EICAS memo message PACKS HIGH FLOW displays
AFT CARGO Heat (HT) Switch - ON (3)
- overheat shutoff valve opens to provide bleed air heat to aft and bulk cargo compartments
- overheat shutoff valve opens and closes for overheat protection
- temperature control valve opens and closes to maintain temperature
Aft Cargo Temperature (TEMP) Light
- compartment temperature excessive
* overheat shutoff valve closes
PACK Reset (RST) Switch - push
- resets pack fault protection system
* restarts pack after automatic shutdown if fault no longer exists
Pack System (SYS) FAULT Light
• pack overheat or other system fault has occurred
may illuminate briefly when automatically or manually switching from pack temperature controller A to B or B to A
PACKS Control Selectors - NORM
- pack controller A or B selected automatically on alternate flights
- selected controller is primary controller; selects secondary controller if primary controller fails
On the ground, with the engines not operating, the Equipment Cooling selector in NORM, and ambient temperatures moderate or high, the warm exhaust air is _____
With lower ambient temperatures _____
ducted overboard through the ground exhaust valve.
the ground exhaust valve is closed and the inboard exhaust valve opens. The warm equipment cooling
exhaust air discharges into the forward cargo compartment (the system is configured for flight)
There are __ temperature zones:
six • flight deck • upper deck • forward and aft main deck • forward and aft lower lobe cargo zones
The packs are controlled by __ identical pack temperature controllers (PTCs)
two, (A and B)
Control of the packs switches automatically to the other PTC at touchdown. If a PTC detects a fault in a pack channel, control of the respective pack switches to the other PTC
Each PTC has __ separate channels
three, (one for each pack)
If a PTC detects a fault in a pack channel, control of the respective pack switches to the other PTC
Each pack valve has __ flow rates
two, (normal and high)
During cruise, normal flow minimizes bleed air demand on the engine to reduce fuel consumption
Aft cargo heat is provided by bleed air from the ____ bleed air duct
center
Shoulder and foot heat is available ____
in flight
On the ground, with the engines not operating, the Equipment Cooling selector in NORM, and ambient temperatures moderate or high, the warm exhaust air is ____
With lower ambient temperatures ____
ducted overboard through the ground exhaust valve.

compartment (system is configured for flight)
On the ground, when ____ the system
configures for flight.
one or more engines on each wing are operating
Positioning the Equipment Cooling selector to STBY ____
closes the ground exhaust valve to manually configure the airplane for flight
With the Equipment Cooling selector in NORM or STBY, the system normally
configures to ____ if a single internal fan fails.
closed loop mode
In closed loop mode, the inboard exhaust valve is closed
With _____ operating, the flight deck equipment cooling source valve directs conditioned air into the flight deck electrical equipment
two or three packs
The equipment cooling system provides cooling air for flight deck equipment and the electrical and electronic (E &E) compartment equipment racks.
